Description

Myoonji is a Soto Zen temple traditionally dating to the period of the Northern and Southern Courts. Its garden contains a stone image of Amida Nyorai relocated from the Udono group of rock-carved Buddhas, one of Karatsu's major Buddhist heritage sites. The Udono carvings are associated with worship from the fourteenth century onward, and the relocated figure preserves part of that history. A stone pagoda depicting the Six Jizo can also be seen beside the gate. Tourism listings give viewing hours of 9:00–17:00, though access should be confirmed. Sources disagree on whether the Amida image is standing or seated, so its posture is not specified here.
